Cassie’s Ruminations

Are you ready for some football?

We went to the Broncos / Seahawks game last night. Both Shaun and I grew up in Colorado, and I’ve been going to Broncos games for as long as I can remember. We’ve adopted the Seahawks as our NFC team, but the Broncos will always be our team 🙂 So when we saw the pre-season schedule come out, we were thrilled that we’d be able to see them in person. Our tickets were way up in the nosebleed section, but the view of the whole field was pretty good, and the fans were great. There was a fair contingent of Broncos fans, and there wasn’t any hostility – just a lot of good-naturied booing and cheering. Less so cheering on our part 😛 The first quarter was decently promising for the Broncos, but then things just seemed to break down. Despite dominating every offensive statistic and nearly every defensive statistic, the turnovers and silly rookie mistakes killed us. Here’s hoping that the team coalesces some as the year progresses.

There were a lot of unique concessions at the game. Besides the typical hot dogs and pretzels, Ivar’s served fish and chips, and one place was selling pad thai, which I just had to get for the fun of it. For pre-made stadium food, it really wasn’t half bad! All in all, a fun time, even if the Broncos did get their butts kicked 😛
